Geohydrology of the Flints Pond Aquifer, Hollis, New Hampshire Geohydrology of the Flints Pond Aquifer, Hollis, New Hampshire
Flints pond has been subjected to accelerated eutrophication as a result of watershed development (building of new homes and conversion of summer cottages into permanent homes) since the 1930's. Ground-water flow is the primary recharge and discharge mechanism for Flints Pond. The saturated thickness, transmissive properties, and altitude of the water table were determined by use of...

Results of geophysical surveys of glacial deposits near a former waste-disposal site, Nashua, New Hampshire Results of geophysical surveys of glacial deposits near a former waste-disposal site, Nashua, New Hampshire
Geophysical investigations were done near a former waste-disposal site in Nashua, New Hampshire to determine the thickness and infer hydraulic characteristics of the glacial sediments that underlie the area. Approximately 5 miles of ground- penetrating radar (GPR) data were collected in the study area by use of dual-80 Megahertz antennas. Three distinct radar-reflection signatures were...

Geohydrology and water quality of stratified-drift aquifers in the middle Merrimack River basin, south-central New Hampshire Geohydrology and water quality of stratified-drift aquifers in the middle Merrimack River basin, south-central New Hampshire
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the State of New Hampshire, Department of Environmental Services, Water Resources Division has assessed the geohydrology and water quality of stratified-drift aquifers in the middle Merrimack River basin in south-central New Hampshire. The middle Merrimack River basin drains 469 square miles; 98 square miles is underlain by stratified-drift...

Summary of public water-supply withdrawals and geohydrologic data for the lower Connecticut River valley from Windsor to Vernon, Vermont Summary of public water-supply withdrawals and geohydrologic data for the lower Connecticut River valley from Windsor to Vernon, Vermont
Public water supply withdrawal data and geohydrologic data were collected along a 50 mile segment of the Connecticut River valley from Windsor to Vernon, Vermont. An inventory of wells indicates that domestic groundwater supplies come primarily from bedrock, whereas public water supplies are derived from discontinuous, glacial sand and gravel deposits. Self supplied industries generally...
